Having read a lot of negative reviews and having visited the Novotel in Paris in January (which was truly fantastic) I was nervous about my stay so wanted to leave this honest review as yes the rooms are quite small and could do with an update, and the outside area desperately needed the grass cutting but the staff, breakfast and accessibility to the metro were all fantastic. The only real point I’d make is that we travelled with our two young children and there is nothing to do around the hotel aside from a gelato shop (Milky Way - which you must try) so if like our kids you end up back at the hotel quite early maybe consider somewhere a bit more built up.
El hotel es familiar , tiene muy buen desayuno , y opcion de restaurante y bar. el staff de la recepcion muy amables y siempre dispuestos a ayudar .
No me gusto que no esta cerca del centro y siempre teniamos que tomar taxis para desplazarnos al centro o estacion de trenes.
The staff check in staff was very helpful. Provided all the info we needed. Location is awesome, tarin to Duomo. All very simple for someone new to the area.

We stayed at a lot of Novotel, but this is small for a Novotel hotel. Not sure if it's only in Italy, but this hotel doesn't have an AC. The breakfast doesn't have a lot of variety compared to other Novotels. The staff were very helpful & great though.

Great staff, room was good for what we needed, clean and tidy.
Electrics tripped, called reception fixed within minutes.
We didn't eat or drink so couldnt pass comment. Locally great places to get coffee and bakery items and a short walk to metro and tram lines.

Decent property. Needs some upkeep especially around the exterior. Rooms are decent but could use some upgrades. Gym needs a bit of work. Good for a short visit. Walkable from mass transit.
Limited transport to and from the city centre. Hotel was very noisy, at one point there was massive bangs and what sounded like gunshots outside. Turns out it was fireworks, but they were so loud it was unbelievable. Would not recommend and would not stay again; if we return to Milan we will be staying in Duomo or Zara

The staff where generally helpful. The cafe staff were particularly good and are the primary reason that I am not giving 2 or 3 stars. Room floor was very wet for almost 24 hours after arrival. The shower floor edge had a bunch of mold that would have been easily cleaned with some bleach. The outside courtyard with a fountain had broken glass all over and is not safe for children.
Zimmer war alt und schmutzig und Hygienisch.
Wir hatten 4 Bettzimmer. Sofabett war Kaputt!Mann hätte es merken sollen bei Zimmer Vorbereitung dass der Sofabett kaputt war.
Nicht empfehlenswert.
Good value and location for getting into Milan on the Metro, area directly by the hotel not so nice and not much going on. Hotel rooms are nice and comfy so overall a good stay

Don’t go for the pools
Booked two rooms at this hotel for myself and four young kids specifically for the pool which is showcased in all the photos. When we arrived in last week of may we were told the pool was seasonable and would not be open until June. We have some very disappointed kids and ruined the break away. We were mis-sold.

Rooms a little tired
The hotel is a little tired on the guest room level and could do with some freshening up. The air conditioning needs to be upgraded as it didn’t really provide effective cooling.
Unfortunately the pool doesn’t open until June, so that wasn’t an option to have a cooling swim.
Food was good overall, with a very enjoyable breakfast spread.
The property location was okay, due to the metro station being a 10-minute walk. Would not advise anyone to book this hotel if you want to be in the centre city. Overall cleanliness is fantastic and staff were friendly. Didn't spend much time in the hotel to understand the hospitality but for a short stay it was perfect. Would stay again if visiting milan in the future.

The Hotel was ok for the purpose of the study. it is close to the metro station with easy access. Room was comfortable however it was warm and no air-condition at this time of the year. Opening the window was enough. Breakfast was disappointing which I did not expect to see in Italy. it is classically British style breakfast which is over priced (15 euro daily) and i do not recommend the breakfast

The location was excelent, close to 3 metro stations. The rooms were cleaned well. We didn't take breakfast but there are many cafes and supermarkets around. In general it was comfortable stay
The housekeeping was poor, the bedding was not clean nor was the toilet. The room was not cleaned or beds made for 3 days. Aircon ineffective at best. Coffee stains on wall under window, carpets + curtains gruppy. Two tea bags, two coffees, no milk..... does not merit 4 stars

Dear Guest,Thank you for taking the time to leave your comment.Your feedback on the condition of the room has been passed to the housekeeping team. I am sure that had you addressed these issues with the staff on duty at the time they would have made every effort to rectify the situation, however this does not in any way excuse the disappointment you were subject to and you should not take this as indicative of the level and service that Novotel strives to provide.I hope you will give us the chance to better serve you next time.Best regards,
It was the worst ever Novotel hotel i have ever stayed in Either Europe/USA/India/Asia Pacific.
The receptionist said that the AC was not working because the General Manager closed it & went home. The breakfast
was so horrible that they also could not serve on omlette.The rooms were smelly. Overall people should avoid at all cost . They charged Euros 239 per night which is criminal for such pathetic services

Dear Guest,Thank you for your feedback received following your recent stay at Novotel Millano Ca Granda. I have now had the opportunity to investigate the matter with my team. During your stay the AC was off as in October we switch to the heating system, I apologize for any discomfort or inconvenience caused.I am very sorry to hear that the breakfast you were served was not of a high standard. This is certainly not acceptable, and I will be taking the necessary actions to ensure there is no recurrence of this failure. I appreciate your sharing your concerns, and it is my hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future.

Hotel nice, rooms ok. Pool is FREEZING. Middle of august and it was ICE COLD! Not pleasant!! Reception staff very helpful but evening bar man was rude and also didn’t know how to make cocktails, plus one elevator was out so we were told to use service elevator, only for a housekeeping woman to get in and SHOUT at us! Very rude. We made a formal complaint about her. Metro is close and takes 30 mins to get to Duomo (main square).
